bing news | Jmail creators release Jeffrey Epstein’s calendar as JCal

The Jmail team, known for their viral Gmail clone that recreated Jeffrey Epstein’s email inbox, has launched a new tool called **JCal**. This Google Calendar replica fills the interface with events that likely comprised Epstein’s schedule, drawing from the documents released in the Epstein Files. The calendar spans roughly twenty years and aims to give a visual sense of how a highly connected individual organized his time.

JCal mirrors the look and functionality of Google Calendar: clicking an event reveals additional details, each accompanied by a note crafted by the Jmail developers to provide context from the source emails, and a link to the original Epstein‑Files correspondence. The entries mix high‑profile meetings with mundane appointments—such as haircuts—highlighting the blend of notoriety and everyday routine in Epstein’s life. The team plans to expand the listings by incorporating data from other archives, like his released text‑message records, and is working on a search feature for easier navigation.

The project fits within a broader “Jmail suite” of replicas that includes **JeffTube** (a YouTube clone featuring around 140 videos from the files), **JPhotos** (a gallery of all released photographs), and **JDrive** (a collection of documents). Developed by digital creator Riley Walz and programmer Luke Igel, with contributions from software developer Matheus Mendes, these tools collectively reinterpret Epstein’s digital footprint, leveraging the ongoing release of the Epstein Files during President Donald Trump’s second term.

CW: This doesn't answer your question; it's just me blowing off steam.

Even publishing an .ics file seems to be rare these days.

I recently learned about jCal, the JSON format for iCalendar, so maybe there's still progress being made. But RFC7265 is already 10 years old!

And, of course, a new interchange format (jCal) requires that I re-tool all my previous software that expects iCal...
